Not surprisingly, the majority of these have been taking each other on in the qualifiers for this Sprint Series Final and ARCTIC LYNX comes out best. He looked to win a shade cosily when landing a double over C&D last month and the handicapper may not have caught up with John Best's sprinter yet. Waterloo Dock was runner-up to the selection last time and has a bit to find, along with third-placed Waabel. The latter has since beaten Chjimes, who won here himself during the week, Dancing Welcome and Nubar Boy. But Rio Royale, Qadar and Picansort all have claims if running up to their best.
